innovative Aging investments
It is expensive to age in this country. Next50 works to change that. We support innovative ideas across Colorado and beyond, strengthening resilience and transforming systems for historically marginalized and geographically underserved older adults and the organizations that serve them. We achieve this by focusing on three core areas of economic opportunity, ensuring that aging is met with dignity, equity, and possibility.
- Ending Ageism
- Advancing Digital Equity
- Supporting Aging in Place

Our Polycapital Philanthropy
Next50’s philanthropic approach blends responsive and proactive strategies to drive meaningful, lasting change across our priority areas. By actively engaging with the communities we serve, we gain critical insights that allow us to bridge gaps, anticipate challenges, and amplify impact.
Through polycapital, we leverage a full spectrum of financial and non-financial tools—including grants, investments, policy, advocacy, and community engagement—because creating a world that values aging requires a multifaceted and adaptive strategy.
